THE PROJECT
When we released our first blog post about Light Table back in April of 2012, it was just a new concept for an IDE. Thanks to the community, our concept was pushed to become a reality. You all helped spread the word about the future of tools and made Light Table the most funded software technology project ever on Kickstarter.
With 7,317 backers and over $316,000, we reached our stretch goal to include Python in our final release. It has been a humbling experience to see such an outpour of excitement, and we sincerely thank each and every one of you for your support.
